FINRA Form 211 and Having Your Stock Trading

September 14, 2019November 22, 2019 - by Juana Baumgartner

To get your stock trading, regardless of how you became public, it’s important to get the stock quoted on the Pink Sheets, OTCBB markets or on a stock exchange. For smaller organizations this indicates having the stock trading on the Pink Sheets or OTCBB.

To have a trading industry you will need 1 or much more market makers. This market maker has to be a broker-dealer who is a member of FINRA and registered with the SEC.

To begin trading, one marketplace maker must file a Form 211 with the Financial Business Regulatory Authority, FINRA, and make a market place within your stock.

A FINRA rule says that market makers are usually not supposed to charge any charge for filing a Form 211. We polled each of the market place makers listed on Pink Sheets last year and all of them but a single wanted a $10,000 “due diligence” charge or some such to file the Form 211. Offered the expense and time involved, as well as the likelihood that filing for a fraudulent firm is usually a bad reflection on them, we are able to hardly blame them for wanting to perform due diligence. Besides that, we think a market place maker should be prepared to file a Form 211 if it believed that substantial business would create in trading the stock. Industry makers generate profits mostly on volume.

FINRA processes the Kind 211 and needs that there be adequate non-affiliated shareholders with cost-free trading stock to make trading in the stock achievable. They usually do not want this stock to become concentrated inside a couple of hands.

You’ll have to document in detail how this stock was provided and sold and prove that this was in complete compliance with all the securities laws and guidelines in the SEC …

Female Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital Investment

September 11, 2019November 22, 2019 - by Juana Baumgartner

The world has changed. Women are getting more absorbingly occupied in the world of entrepreneurship today. This is because many women tend to invest more conservatively than most men when talking about financial matters whether within the four walls of their home or in the real world outside. Furthermore, women were always seen as being domestic, pious, moral, pure, gentle, kind, graceful, and beautiful. If a woman was placed in a different situation, she would always know how to compose herself even in a toughest situation.

In the past century, women have always been present in the work force as business managers or even business owners but not quite in significant numbers. However, in the recent years, the concurrence of legal, educational, demographic, and social development have begun to move women into the prevailing direction of corporate management and entrepreneurship as well as in venture capital investing. Accomplishing their dreams way up to the corporate ladder while fighting gender discrimination is a common life thread mostly seen among some of the most successful and famous women in business. And these women we see as powerhouses in the business came from humble upbringing.

Women also run companies differently compared to men not just in the lifestyle business but in employing people. This is because women are more deeply perceptive and can better suppress negative emotions. They are more likely to display good leadership because of their higher emotional intelligence. Women and men may have similar career aspirations, advancement strategies, and barriers to success but they have differences in the types of barriers and how they balance their work or life responsibilities.

The leading women of entrepreneurship today envisioned to make a difference to the global awareness and culture of entrepreneurial women in business. Amanda Steinberg, a 33 year old female venture …
